"Miss, you can't bear this injustice either, why did Rui Wang let you suffer this injustice?"

  Dong Zhi grew up by Shen You Xias side since he was young, even when he went to the Dark Guard Camp for training a few years ago, every time he had a rest, Dong Zhi would return to Shen You Xias side. His feelings for Shen You Xia were very deep. It was also because of this that Dong Zhi felt indignant.

  "What's the point of being so resentful? It's not a big deal, you'd be better off going to find Autumn to discuss our plan for closing up shop on cloudy days. This is way more important than keeping an eye on Zhu Yunyan and Li Yue."

  A rare pout on the winter solstice, although not entirely agreeing with Shen Youxia's words, didn't say anything else and turned to find Qiu Fen.

  Reclaiming the property that belongs to Shen Youxia is also one of the four major maids, and even the people close to Shen Youxia's side have always been her wish.

  On the other hand, after sending off Xu Huamin, Zhu Yunyan's mood was still not bad. At least, Xu Huamin did not refuse his proposal. As long as he had not been won over by another prince, his own hopes were still very great.

  Just as he was thinking about how to subdue Xu Huamin next, the door of the study creaked open.

  "Come in."

  She thought it was Mo Yi, but when Zhu Yunyan looked up, she saw Li Yue pushing the door open. She couldn't say she disliked him, but her heart inexplicably felt annoyed.

  "Anything wrong?"

  "Your Highness, this is what An Shizi wants me to hand over to you."

  Zhu Yunyan took over the letter handed over by Li Yue, but did not open it, and instead continued to ask.

  "How did he end up giving you the letter?"

  Regardless of the content of the letter, An Yi Han's act of letting Li Yue deliver it to Zhu Yun Yan himself has already made the suspicious Zhu Yun Yan feel uneasy.

  "It was the slave who went to the street to buy embroidery thread, and coincidentally met An Shizi. He handed over the letter to the slave, at that time An Shizi was in a hurry, should be something urgent to deal with, probably thought the slave was someone trusted by the king, so he handed over the letter to the slave."

  Zhu Yunyan's question made Li Yue's heart tremble, and without thinking, she knelt down on the ground and told everything from start to finish.

  Of course, she didn't tell Zhu Yunyan her deliberate intention of getting in touch with An Yihans.

  Recently, Li Yue has been feeling that Zhu Yunyan's attitude towards her has become much more distant. Just like today, if she had called herself a slave in the past, Zhu Yunyan would have corrected her and told her to use "I" instead. But just now, when she repeatedly referred to herself as a slave, Zhu Yunyan didn't correct her, and it's unclear whether she didn't hear or simply doesn't care about her anymore.

  So she worried that something unexpected would happen if she entered Rui Wang Fu as a concubine.

  So, among the young masters of the aristocratic families, Li Yue had set her sights on An Yihuan again and deliberately made contact with him, with the goal of leaving a good impression on An Yihuan and making him her second choice for the rest of her life.

  Li Yue finished speaking, and Zhu Yunyan didn't say a word, but only opened the letter.

  Li Yue knelt on the ground, her heart racing with anxiety, unsure if Zhu Yunyan believed what she had said.

  Zhu Yunyan looked at Li Yue after reading the letter and said, "Get up, don't kneel down for no reason, I'm not used to this."

  She was just a servant's daughter, and kneeling down was nothing unusual for Li Yue. Moreover, she hadn't knelt for very long. However, when Li Yue stood up, her legs were still trembling, and her lips were tightly closed, looking pitiful and weak.
